All the best in France Jake, hopefully there will be less pressure over there for you to develop! In other news, I saw Sam Greene was catching up with Thor last week, where did he end up landing?

Google the following and you should see a link to view the cached version "McGahan heading home in super coup for the Reds" In any event, here's some snippets of interest. Just absolutely pathetic, nothing quite breeds success like hiring a bloke who knows how to lead a shambles of an...

Statistically speaking, we played pretty much bang on average in the June matches as we did in the first three matches on the EOYT. I had a quick look at ESPN's stats for each game. The missed tackles were probably made to look worse due to the mistakes we made leading up to the tackle or the...

Becareful what you wish for! If I remember correctly, the Reds sacked their defensive coach and Dick Graham took over that area in addition to the HC.... How'd that work out for us?

A bit of devils advocate here. Using what Ben Darwin mentioned on the podcast about combinations being critical, does having K Hunt play 12 at both the Reds and Wallabies, add more fuel to the fire that Cooper should be at 10. Reason being, you'd have a possible situation of: 9. Genia 10...

I can't say I buy into making the argument that having an international player in X position is as big of a problem as everyone makes it out to be. Other than the fact that if an international player is the best option for a team in that position and actually helps those around him perform...

Cheiks said in the pre match interview that we need to work on thinking on our feet. Ok. So, if the Italians are pinning us in our own 22, putting pressure on us to make mistakes, what genius thinks that we shouldn't get out of the danger zone? Take all skills and lack thereof, the players are...

Remind me again why we're running it out from our own 22 instead of trying to play in the oppositions half?

Queensland?

Man, if only Hunt came to Union straight from school, some bloody great balls he's played today.

Jesus Hooper. Makes the covering tackle, backs up and goes for a huge run after the boy gets scooped up.

Since when is a deliberate knock down not a yellow card?

Foley is having a shocker. A shit pass to Horne then another crappy clearing kick that got us 10 metres further up the field than where we had the lineout.....

While I can understand the sentiment, I guess it depends on what side of the 'devaluing the jersey' debate you fall on. To me, giving Dempsey a jersey without any real runs on the board is similar to the whole shit-storm Koroibete kicked off at the EOYT.

Now the Queenslander's pitchforks can come out. #Justice4Higs

Horne must carry the rope himself during training to be THAT impressive to be picked.

I can't speak for the rest of Queensland, but outside of Higgers I can't think of a single Reds player that should be in that 15.

Hanigan starting is a bit rough on Higgers. I wouldn't mind seeing what Higgers and Timani can do as they could be a pretty good starting pair for the Rugby Championship.

I agree with you that Quade won't be leap frogging Foley. Depending on Hunt passing a fitness test (for a concussion), Cheika will have to either play Hodge or Cooper/Foley at 10-12.

I'm not quite sure that's the best statistics to illustrate if this is the case. After all, the game could have been largely played between the Scots 40-50m (when they'd be less likely to kick long) and territory would count in our favour right? I think it's telling that if Izzy has/had such a...
